Get those long E-locker splines turned down in the middle so you can get the axle out after you twist it with that 4BT powerrrr

Or go with RCV axles the have done already.

got some work done since the last post. Axle is done and in, shaft is on the way to @GLTHFJ60 to get turned down. No more u bolts on this sucker. Op angle is as good as it gets and the driveshaft will be happy.

Few things happened in past two weeks. My guy @GLTHFJ60 got the axle shaft turned down to avoid stuck shaft due to twisting. Went ahead and upgraded to Fj80 1in MC and front calipers to 4Runner. Pedal was going down to the floor because of the proportioning. Also fit a parallel condenser with intercooler and grill. Trying to get the ac fixed by this summer.

Well, as expected I’m finally getting to updating this thread. I guess better late than never. Since April I been wheeling quite a few times and got some goodies installed. Got some diesel speed hut gauges and trail tailor bezel in. Also adapted 2004 6bt ac bracket. Compressor is in, made some ac lines and got it all hooked up. Picked up a cool air compressor from 6bt out of a Blue bird bus. It got a power steering pump on the back and supposedly produces 12cfms. Gonna figure out a way to get it fit in the 60.

quick update to the thread since it has been a minute. Installed Eaton locker and new gears in the front, convinced Toyota dealership to fix the gas tank issue(they refused initially due to mods), trail gear sliders burnt in. Been messing with some spring ratios for a better flex. Long story short Cummins will be coming out soon and either a Mercedes om606 gonna go in or a toyota 1hr-ftv v8 turbo diesel will go in. In the meantime 60 will be collecting dust in California

Do you still have the old drivetrain ?

I do, it is in San Jose California with my buddy if you want to buy it. Dm if that is something you are interested in.

If you put a gas engine in it you’ll be able to smog and register for on road use in California.
